How can i make selfregistration or frontpage users to get unlimited members?

The self registration indicates that it is limited as to what number of people can sign up/register. I like cmsmadesimple and would like to use it but am also looking for something that wont restrict the number of registrations/signups and frontend users. Like postnuke and the rest. Please, can i build a portal with large membership with cmsmadesimple? . Thanks

CMSMade simple 0.11 with frontendusers and self registration and customcontent, is currently being used on a system with 6000+ user accounts with no difficulty.  There is no limitation to the number of users.  Infact every effort has gone into making the system handle large amounts of users.

Is there a specific problem or question I can help you with?

Hello, thanks for your reply. I am happy to hear that the three modules, when used together , can handle unlimited number of members. However, am pondering how to achieve/implement that. Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks again

Here's a summary:
  FrontEndUsers - manages the login/logout/change settings stuff for users.  Allows you to define properties (like email, city, state, age, location, first name, last name, etc, etc).  and associate those properties with groups, specify an order for the properties and mark em as required or optional.

  SelfRegistration - Allows users to register themselves with frontendusers module.  Supports email validation of the registration process, and stops the admin from having to register each person individually (what a pain).

  CustomContent, adds a basic expression syntax to cms that allows you to display different content to different users, or groups.

So.  Here's what I'd do:
  a) Install the three modules (start with frontendusers)
  b) Create properties in frontend users (make sure you create a property of type email address).
  c) Create a group in frontend users, and specify the sort order, and status of each property.
  d) Add a selfreg tag to your page someplace:  {cms_module module=selfregistration group="the_group_i_created_above"}
  e} Add some customcontent and frontendusers code to your page(s) or template(s).  i.e:

Code: Select all

{cms_module module=CustomContent}
{cms_module module=FrontEndUsers}
<!--customContent: startif group="the_group_i_created_above" -->
Welcome to the site
<!--customContent: else -->
I don't know who you are
<!--customContent: endif -->
Hope that helps.

check that the name of the group in the frontendusers module and the one in your customcontent syntax actually match.
